Challenge
Internal recruiters were buried in inbound noise from generic job boards. Hiring managers spent evenings reviewing profiles that looked similar on paper but failed deeper screens.
Each delay pushed roadmap bets later; leadership wanted a partner who could own vetting depth, not just top-of-funnel volume.
Solution
HireBoost aligned on a unified scorecard: system design instincts, failure-mode thinking, and prior exposure to regulated environments. We ran structured async exercises before any live panel.
A dedicated talent partner iterated weekly with the VP Engineering on calibration, tightening signals after every batch of feedback.
“We finally got fewer names — but every name was worth a conversation. That changed how our exec team thinks about recruiting.”
